“I apologize again for the price you paid for my dishonesty…”

–CDC Whistleblower Dr. William Thompson

The last desperate effort when the CDC whistleblower story broke last week was for the vaccine establishment and media to drive a wedge between Dr. Thompson and Dr. Andrew Wakefield, whose “fraud” (according to British journalist Brian Deer) has been made to carry the sins of the entire vaccine industry for many years.

Dr. Wakefield shared two text messages with The Truth Barrier that he and his wife received from Dr. Thompson.

The first one was to Dr. Wakefield’s wife Carmel, from August 20, 2014, and it read:

I do believe your husbands career was unjustly damaged and this study would have supported his scientific opinion. Hopefully I can help repair it. You can see it here.

Polly Tommey, Director of Autism Media Channel, told The Truth Barrier there are more whistleblowers trying to find the courage, and or, the legal protection, to speak.

“There are more whistleblowers coming out,” she said. “We know who they are and we’ve spoken to them. They’re petrified. These sources make Thompson pale in comparison, some of them. They know the MMR is a massive problem, data has been corrupted, they’ve been told to hide things…”

“One guy spoke about Gardisil. He said, ‘You can forget about MMR—Gardisil is one of the biggest crimes ever. 144 girls or something have died already. Thompson is only the beginning. “

CNN is now overtly complicit in the mainstream media blackout of the developing story of CDC whistleblower Dr. William Thompson, who stepped forward and revealed that he had partaken in cooking data attempting to minimize the truth about the toxicity of the MMR vaccine in infants and the increased risk of developing autism.

Yesterday, on CNN’s “iReport” page, the story was posted.

As of late last night, the article had 45,232 views, 178 comments,( mostly people literally begging CNN and other media to cover it,) and a staggering 17 thousand shares.

CNN won’t allow the story of a whistleblower from a federal health agency who has admitted to falsifying a bedrock of data about vaccine safety, but it offered frothing, extensive coverage to Brian Deer’s claim’s that Dr. Andrew Wakefield’s 1998 Lancet paper was “fraudulent.” (The paper’s assertions–of a link between gastrointestinal illnesses, MMR, and autism– have subsequently been repeated in many other studies, and the paper’s lead author, who was funded to do to, went through the proper courts in the UK and was vindicated.)

CNN’s frothing pro-vaccine coverage, and systematic bullying of critics, such as Dr. Andrew Wakefield, who was “interviewed” by an unhinged Anderson Cooper here, in one of journalism’s lowest moments, points to a very disturbing development in American journalism.

Having taken on board the various responses, from indignant and scathing that I would think this was “news” to those who say their minds are blown, I called one of the most truth worthy people I know, Dr. David Rasnick, in Berkeley, California, yesterday. We spoke for a long time about it.

“One view holds that this is not new, or old news, and that I can’t grasp a thing correctly,” I said. “But my gut tells me this is significant. To use their word.”

“Oh I absolutely agree with you,” he said. “If this is such old news, how come no media covered it, and how come neither you nor I heard it before, and we watch AIDS news very carefully.”

“Well, I miss things, certainly. But if I missed this, so did everybody else. I don’t want to overstate the case. It seems to me the US Government has admitted that HIV infection is not infectious.”

“I think that’s exactly what they’re saying,” said Dr. Rasnick.

Then again, we think this way–we have minds that think the US Government has been very confusing, and very wrong, about HIV and AIDS, to put it mildly. This is what one of our readers calls my “ilk,” and I am proud of this, this “ilk.”

“The question is: Why now?” he said.

“Indeed, why now?” I said.

I asked Dr. Rasnick agreed to write a one page response, summing up a few facts.

20 Minutes ago he sent this note:

Dear Celia:

Attached is my one-page reflection of the CDC’s recent reversal.

I checked and US taxpayers spent $3.1 billion on AIDS in 1990. We are spending $28 billion this year. Since 1981, we have spent a total $344 billion so far on AIDS.

Here is my short bio for introduction purposes.

Dr. Rasnick worked 20 years in the pharmaceutical/biotech industry on cancer, emphysema, arthritis, and parasitic diseases and studied AIDS for three decades. He has spent the past 15 years working with Peter Duesberg on the chromosomal imbalance theory of cancer. His book The Chromosomal Imbalance Theory of Cancer was published this past December.

Wednesday, March 12, I checked the Alberta Reappraising AIDS Society’s website, linking to The Truth Barrier, and clicked on the link: CDC admits that HIV infection is “not a communicable disease that is of significant public health risk”. I was sure I couldn’t have read that right. This is a big story.

During the past quarter century, the CDC, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, the Department of Health and Human Services, the World Health Organization, the New York Times, Oprah Winfry and, more recently, Bill Gates have been telling us HIV is the most deadly sexually transmitted plague of all time. From the beginning of the epidemic, an incredibly massive propaganda campaign has enveloped the globe, pounding into our psyches AIDS (nowadays HIV disease) is sexually transmitted, incurable and results in 100% mortality from a dictionary full of diseases. My first reaction was what made the CDC reverse course so profoundly—and why now? Second, why wasn’t this headline news?

I particularly remember the International AIDS Conference held in San Francisco in 1990. It was at that conference the discoverer of HIV, and later Nobel Laureate, Luc Montagnier said HIV by itself could not cause AIDS. But more important for this story, that same year was the last time the US hosted the AIDS conference. The organizers refused to hold future conferences in the USA because the government had revised its Code of Federal Regulations to restrict HIV positive people from entering the country. That was the law until January 4, 2010.

I downloaded the specific regulation (42 CFR, Part 34) to see what it said. Prior to 2010, the CDC listed the following eight “communicable disease[s] of public health significance,” which barred entry to the USA.

According to the CDC, six of the eight diseases are sexually transmitted. In its Progress Report 2011: Global HIV/AIDS Response, the WHO claims 34 million people were infected with HIV. Since HIV is the only communicable, sexually transmitted disease the US government claims is incurable and inevitably fatal, why did the CDC remove if from the list?

Having studied AIDS for three decades, I’m certain the quiet removal of HIV as a “significant public health risk” was done for political rather than medical and scientific reasons. The CDC said it was “taking this action to reflect current scientific knowledge and public health best practices, and to reduce stigmatization of people who are HIV-infected.” However, scientifically, it’s been known since at least the mid 1990s that HIV infection is not a communicable disease that is of significant public health risk. For example, the 1997 results of Nancy Padian’s 10-year study—acknowledged to be the best designed and conducted of its kind—failed to observe even one case of sexual transmission of HIV. So, we’re left with these possibilities: Either 1) HIV was never sexually transmissible, which raises a myriad of questions, especially about Africa, 2) the over 400,000 distinct varieties of presumed sexually transmissible HIV suddenly mutated to non-transmissible forms, à la The Andromeda Strain, or 3) the fundamental claims about HIV are wrong.

One thing is clear. The CDC’s recent reversal demonstrates former South African President Thabo Mbeki was well justified in 2000 to question the apocalyptic assertions about HIV.
